Cards in this deck (3)
- 1BackgroundProduced when carbon is burnt with a shortage of oxygen, such as incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons
- 2Effects of CO-Binds to haemoglobin which prevents it from carrying oxygen. If enough is inactivated it can cause brain damage
-Low concentrations increase health problems caused by chronic heart disease - 3Control of COExhaust catalytic convertors oxidise CO to CO2. Although CO2 is a pollutant the increase in CO2 emissions is very small compared to other emissions of CO2.
